Although the Cummins L10/ZF combo in the Arriva Northumbria ex London & Country and M3** FTY batch was quite tuneful too!
Aye can't argue. The Scanias had awful engine idling problems aswell which never got fixed.
The Olympian is the equivalent of the intercity 125 imo. Proper workhorse and I wouldn't be surprised if a few would've still been on the road if DDA didn't kill them off.
